oil the waters trytnn to set at or away
from each other. So far no blood has
been spilled. No human lives, so far
as reported, have been lost. When that
event tnkes place It will be the first
real blow of the war. No chance for
anything short of u light to the hilt
will go then. Who will be the first
to spill that blood. Spain or America?
But the fight Is on. The president

A PROPHKSY OF DANIEL.
Those who may be a little shaky re-
garding the results of the present war
will undoubtedly be glad to know that
besides the assurances born of our self
confidence, our patriotism, or skill and
resources and our belief that justice
is on our side—that beyond all natural
and emotional reasons of belief that
vne shall whip Spain, is a supernatural
one. It Is written in the book of Dan-
iel that we shall destroy Spain.
Prof. C. A. L. Totten made certain
predictions six years ago to happen in
the 6000th year of the world, according
to the Hebrew chronology. This date
comes on March 1890. He claims that
all the events, spoken of by him six
years ago. leading up to that period,
have taken place. On that date the
millennium will come. 'By the millen-
nium in this ease Pr« f. Totten means
the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon
race. He believes that the Anglo-Sax-
ons are the last tribe of Israel, and that
in case of a genera! w ar. it would be
the England. America and Judah
against the world.
Prof. Totten is no Ignorant sooth-
sayer. He is a man of learning and
science. He is an ex-lieutenant in the
j United States army and late professor
j of military science at Yale university.
He resigned his position to pursue his
study of interpreting the phophesies of
the bible. Were he an ordinary man
no attention would be paid his state-
ments. but when a man can by mathe-
matical accuracy prove that Queen
Victoria is a leneal descendent of Da-
vid and fill in every name in the link,
he cannot be ignored. Or when he tells
that in 1899. for instance, we shall have
one of the most astounding aerolite
showers of the scientific annals of the
rld and that it will be coincident
with the closing of the national drama.
That ' other astral phenomena point to
a terrible confusion in 1899." That
"the solar system is now plunging in-
to a veritable vortex. The perihelion
of Saturn has always been accompan-
ied by great commotion among men;
but we have more than that now.
With Jupiter and Uranus and Neptune
of influence extends beyond 1899, there
ascending in the cycle, whose sphere
will be the deuce to pay' We are on
the threshhold of great events; the
golden age is at our very doors!"
Prof. Totten's prophesy is. however,
discouraging in one thing; it shows
| that the war with Spain will last at
j least one year, when good many peo-
i pie are in hopes that it will not last
beyond a few months.
"It has now been the greater part of
a century since we have engaged with
a foreign power." says Colonel Watter-
son. "and we are regarded generally as
much weaker than we really are. A g
naval victory over Spain would do
much to make us feared and respected
abroad, and American citizens might
look for better treatment when travel-
ing than they sometimes receive at
present." That is a reason the common
pople of this country had not thought
of.
of the Cherokee tsrlp and to destroy
leir improvements. Twenty-seven thous-

tlemen have fenced It in and used it free

to cultivate the soil, hence the order.
W. Marquart writes a discouraging
letter from Port Valdls. Alaska. Twen-
ty-five hundred people are the^e In camp
•ight feet of snow. He^thlnkp the
papers should no longer deceive the peo-
ple about that country. It is to the rail-
roads and steamship companies Interest,
however, to have the people continue to
rush to the country.
The Comanche. Kiowa and Apach- s
have considered a propbsi. on from the I
United States government to send a del-
egation of Indians from the Port Siil res-
ervation to the Trans-Mississippi Expo-
sition to he held at Omaha next mon.a.
Two delegations are to be sent; one ti
represent the Indian in his primitive or
wild s'tate of fifty years ago; fhe other
to represent him as he now exist.-, or in
,i semi-civilized state.

has developed a more vivid power of
imagination than it has heretofore giv-
en indications of in its writing, if it
sees such a gigantic scheme between
Guthrie, Perry and Alva to capture the
public institutions by the simple fact
that Alva has been granted a normal
school. The Times-Journal should de-
vote itself to fiction entirely, it would
do better.
